New Orleans is the most romantic city in the country, don’t you agree? And you can see it in so many distinctive ways. We’ve got horsedrawn (or muledrawn) carriage rides through the lacy iron-adorned streets of the French Quarter; we’ve got the elegant St. Charles Avenue streetcar ride for $1.50, past the Victorian mansions and live oak trees and ivy-covered universities; we’ve got the free ferry ride from Canal Street across the Mississippi River, with the stately old-world façade of St. Louis Cathedral looming in the background, like something out of Disney, as you glide slowly across the river. There are reasons so many movies get filmed in New Orleans. We live in the prettiest European –or is it Caribbean? – town you’re likely to find in the United States.
We waited, and we watched while our city was transformed for the 2013 Super Bowl; and we wondered whether it would all be worth it. YES, it was! So exciting that Super Bowl XLVII, between the San Francisco 49ers and the Baltimore Ravens, happened right here, where we don’t just know how to throw a party, we live a party. For our tenth ever Super Bowl, now at the renamed and renovated Mercedes-Benz Superdome, we postponed a few Carnival parades, but the Super Bowl’s magic took over. The weather was beautiful, and the whole town was scrubbed, shiny, and dressed up in its best clothes. Is New Orleans “back?” Yep, big time! It was enough to make us cry during the game.
